PreS–Soft illustrations, done in pencil and watercolor, complement Hindley's tender, rhythmic narrative. Baby and his favorite toy, Little Hup the hippo, share a familiar morning routine, but tragedy strikes when Little Hup gets lost under a tree. Then Baby's sister finds his toy and makes everything right again, just in time for his nap. Burroughes's gentle artwork is framed by pastel borders in changing hues–butter yellow for Baby's room, pink for the kitchen, green for the yard. This winsome book makes a good choice for naptime, laptime, or bedtime.–Catherine Threadgill, Charleston County Public Library, SC Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
